Chapter 12 The Proud Son of the Twelve Republics

As soon as night fell, the potholed small street in front of the Lijiabao Sub-district Office in Datun District was noisy as if it was boiling.The street stalls selling all kinds of daily necessities are like those mushrooms growing wildly in the forest after the summer rain, occupying all the open spaces on both sides of the small street in an instant.The stall owners each lit a calcium carbide lamp to illuminate the small piece of ground in front of them.This kind of flame full of primitive charm flickers and shakes dimly in the air fluctuation caused by the flow of people, becoming a major sight of this "Geda".

Datun District is a famous heavy industrial area in the provincial capital.Several heavy machinery factories, bearing factories and steam turbine factories in the province ranked first in the country are all concentrated in Lijiabao.The highest chimney in the province, the most magnificent factory building, the largest tonnage forging press, the largest gantry planer and gantry crane, the largest electric furnace with a single furnace volume, the most famous and oldest group of model workers in the country...all of them are here. .In the block, from time to time, there are ancient steam locomotives pulling hot steel ingots; pig iron blocks, coke, and various types of wires and plates, accompanied by thick smoke, whistling and shuttling back and forth; Large trucks pulling ore and various auxiliary materials trembled past you.Here, you can't tell which is the block and which is the factory area.Or it should be put this way: the block is in the factory area, and the factory area contains the entire block.Its importance in economic construction can be fully understood from the following sentence: Over the years, people have said that as long as I "catch a cold" in Lijiabao, the production plan of the whole province will definitely be "fever with a cold". ", and even some economic indicators across the country will "shudder a few times" as a result.For this reason, there will definitely be "Lijiabao people" among the deputies to the National People's Congress and party representatives.In that era, from top to bottom, everyone seemed to be accustomed to the view that without the participation of "Lijiabao people", no conference of any kind would be sufficiently "representative" and "authoritative".But they ignored a major hidden danger lurking here: the glory of Lijiabao is supported by "state order" and "state underwriting". ~Once the "country" withdraws. "Market" enters. The "country" no longer "contracts production and marketing" for you, and the systemic ills that have been hidden in the depths of these "heaven's favorites" for decades have become fully apparent.In order to adapt to market competition, they must slim down.It is necessary to reform the system, to lower one's "once proud head", and start everything from zero (more negative numbers)... It is hard to turn the ship around.Hundreds of thousands of workers have been laid off.Thousands of cadres had to find new livelihoods.You know there are many families here.Three generations have worked in the same factory to make a living.The whole family has dozens of mouths pointing to a big pot for Taoba to eat and drink.Once the big pot of this factory is in the throes of "transforming production" or shutting down production, the blow to this type of family can almost be said to be "destructive" and "subversive".Huanghuang's "Lijiabao" inevitably became very "dark" and "deserted" for a while...

Every time Shao Changshui walks into this Lijiabao small street, every time he sees those "workers brothers" squatting in front of his stall in the dark and "cowardly" yelling about their small business, he can't stop his heart. Sour heat = He knew that a few years ago, these people probably had "seventh-level masters", "first-section chiefs", "duan chiefs", "workshop technicians" or "trade union team members" shining on their heads. In order to avoid the danger of "everyone sinking with the big ship", they were helplessly and tragically asked to jump out of the big ship in advance and let themselves sink and float in the " Some of them may swim to a small island, seize a piece of sunshine and green shade, and rebuild their "colorful life"—and some of them may suffer from extinction. disaster...

Shao Changshui came to look for a person named Shou Taiqiu today based on the list provided by Mr. Lao in the "Secret File".The task Zhao Wuliu gave him was to find all the people on this list and find out their relationship with Mr. Lao.And further clarified the "background situation" of why Lord Lao resigned and went to Tao Ligan.And what has he been "busy about" in Tao Ligen in the past few months? Although Zhao Wuliu said a lot of good things for Lao Donglin in front of the director, but for the scene where he was naked and lying in front of a strange woman, Still hoping to find a proper explanation.And hope to find the real cause of his "death".

Shao Changshui and his three-person team have been working on this list for more than ten days to complete this task.After the establishment of the review team, when the first meeting was held to study and determine the direction of the next detection, Shao Changshui and Zhao's team had conflicts.Of course, Shao Changshui would not go to fight with the Zhao team, but he still expressed his different thoughts in a tactful way.He analyzed that from the deciphered "Master Lao's secret document", there are three key points: First, Lord Lao emphasized that if something happened to him, he must have been murdered.Is this prediction accurate? If it is accurate, who is the murderer? This is obviously something that must be clarified.Second, Mr. Lao said, "It can be preliminarily determined that during his tenure as the secretary of the Taurigan Municipal Party Committee and the mayor of Taurigan City, Acting Governor Gu received huge bribes from Rao Shangdu, chairman of the Far East Shengtang International Trade Technology Development Company, and used his He helped Rao get at least 500 million yuan in low-interest loans from the bank, and helped him secure nearly 100,000 square meters of state-owned land at a price ten times lower than the market price." What is the basis for this statement? Did he What evidence has been obtained? If he has obtained the evidence, where is the evidence now? If he has not obtained the evidence, on what basis has he made such a conclusion.This point is said to be a "shocking" event, but regarding this, Director Yuan has clearly instructed not to go to this "minefield", so the focus of the review team's investigation must go beyond it.Third, after Lao Donglin stayed in Taoligen for several months, some incomprehensible changes occurred in his heart.It even made him understand Gu Liyuan who "accepted bribes", Rao Shangdu who gave bribes, and those who secretly followed and monitored, and even those who might harm him, and wanted to communicate with them.This feels so weird.It is understandable that this kind of thing happened to young criminal policemen and police officers who have just joined the work.Because in real life, some criminals are indeed not as "hateful" and "vulgar in behavior" as described in some of our literary works and political classes in primary and secondary schools.Some are even "personable" and "good-looking".Some can even say that they committed crimes of no return due to certain "justified reasons"... For this reason, it is possible to arouse some kind of "sympathy" and "compassion".But it's incomprehensible that such a thing happened to Lao Donglin.Just like an experienced surgeon, it is absolutely impossible to fuss over every drop of blood flowing out of a living person's body and every piece of flesh cut off.So, what exactly caused such a change in his heart in the past few months? Did this change affect his later behavior in Taurigan? If it did, why did he still think that those people wanted to murder him? What happened in the middle of this? Of course, all of this ~ all focused on this point.That is to accurately determine the car accident case: is it "murder", and if so, who is the real culprit...

He believes that among the three, the focus should be the first and second, needless to say.The focus of the review team's work should be on arresting the person who "mysteriously disappeared" from the cab after the incident, and organize forces to focus on breaking through the bombing of the bank safe and the killing of the security guard. focus.If any of these things are broken, it is possible to "cover the gourd and pull out the ladle", accurately characterize Lao Ye's death, and bring the criminals to justice.However, judging from the arrangement of Zhao's team, the focus of the work was on the third item, that is, to first clarify the background of Mr. Lao's going to Tao Ligen and his inner changes.

The background of Mr. Lao’s going to Taoligan and the changes in his heart in the past few months are of course inseparable from the occurrence of the case, but starting to solve the case from here is like going from Beijing to Tianjin without leaving Beijing and Tianjin. Tongtang Expressway, I have to take the train to Dalian first, then turn around and then take a boat across the Bohai Bay, which seems to be approaching Tianjin Port.The whole circle around a big bend.Is it necessary to go that hard? It's indeed a bit convoluted to do so.Of course Zhao Wuliu knew this.In fact, he also made two-handed arrangements: another part of the work force was arranged to directly solve the "car accident case" and "bank safe bombing case", and to solve the theft case of Shao Changshui's home, while Shao Changshui was assigned to investigate the "background" and "inner heart" cases. Variety".As Lao Donglin's old comrade-in-arms and old superior, he really wanted to know these two things: first, why did Donglin resign and go to the sea to go to Tao Ligen? What happened? What happened to his heart? Why did this change happen?

For Zhao Wuliu.To understand these two points is as important as to understand whether the whole incident is a murder and who the real culprit is.In a way, it's even more important. Some people say that Lao Donglin made a life and death fight to resign and take off his police uniform to go to Tao Ligan just for money; There has been a big change in the past. After arriving in Taoligen, it is just because the "soil", "climate" and other conditions are complete.It got worse and worse, and it became a little bit uncontrollable.Like a patient who suffers from low-grade fever and hot flashes every afternoon, and tosses and turns in amazement in dripping night sweat at night, he rises in excitement and panting, but becomes weaker and anxious day by day, and finally dies in hysteria... Therefore, some people even said that his death was probably a "suicide" after disappointment and despair.What "murder" and what "car accident" are all just the last "joke" this old guy made with everyone.Is this really the case? Zhao Wuliu didn't believe it.But I have to believe it.

He and Donglin have worked together for decades.If you ask, do you really know this old comrade-in-arms? I really dare not say that.Thinking back carefully, he found that not only did he not have a particularly in-depth understanding with Lao Donglin, but he didn't even have a particularly close relationship.This really surprised Zhao Wuliu.Thinking about it further, yes, who did Dong Lin have particularly close contacts and contacts with in his work unit? Really not yet; what he can recall is only contacts and contacts on some cases and work.Although this kind of contact and communication is very frequent, it does not belong to the category of "heart-to-heart".His short figure hurried into the meeting room, and hurried (always a bit "lonely") to the scene of the crime... In the meeting to discuss the case, sometimes he can talk a little bit at a time For an hour, he excitedly rushed in front of those who opposed him, and "sprayed" the saliva directly on the faces of those who opposed him.Sometimes, they remained silent from the beginning to the end, and finally only said: "Don't talk about the dick, you!" Turned around and left.Over the years, this guy has indeed been a bit difficult, but he has never been "hysterical", let alone "showing weakness" to others.Later, it was Zhao Wuliu who accepted his official resignation report, and it was Zhao Wuliu who gave him the final farewell talk on behalf of the organization.On that occasion, although Lao Donglin acted a little "sad", he still did not show any "weakness" or "hysteria", and his inherent "confidence" still flickered from time to time in his eyes.

After arriving in Taurigan, he called Zhao Wuliu several times at the beginning; when he returned to the provincial capital to visit his family, he even visited Zhao Wuliu in the provincial office.But the relationship was soon discontinued.More than two months ago, Zhao Wuliu accompanied the Ministry of Public Security and the leaders of the departments in charge of criminal investigation in several neighboring provinces to cross the river to discuss joint crackdowns with the leaders of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Suddenly met Lao Donglin at the banquet.The feeling of meeting that time was a bit strange, I always felt that Lao Donglin was avoiding him.There was nothing about Lao Donglin at that banquet.There was no pool in the PUC's invitation list.Later, it was Zhao Wuliu who thought of him and asked the Municipal Bureau to invite him to the reception as a "retired veteran comrade" and "senior in criminal investigation" from the provincial department.At that reception, Zhao Wuliu already felt that Lao Donglin had changed.From the beginning to the end, he seemed to be particularly reticent, sitting in a position far away from the main table, neither taking the initiative to toast with others.He didn't talk to people, and he didn't even clink glasses with the old leaders and old acquaintances in the hall.say something.Zhao Wuliu originally wanted to talk to him after the banquet and ask about his recent situation.Unexpectedly, as soon as the banquet was announced to be over, he disappeared in a blink of an eye, completely "leaving without saying goodbye".I called him that night, and the phone was turned off.Later, until he left Tao Ligen, Zhao Wuliu never saw Lao Donglin again.At that time, Zhao Wuliu only thought that Lao Donglin might have encountered something unsatisfactory in those few days, so he didn't take it too seriously.But now it seems.This judgment is obviously hasty and superficial...

Some time ago, someone came back from Taurigan.He once told Zhao Wuliu that they met Mr. Lao there, saying that "Master Lao" was coming recently.Thinking has become a little abnormal, and when speaking, there are often some incoherent words, and common-sense logical errors often occur.Zhao Wuliu also severely "reprimanded" and "sarcastically" these comrades.In the Provincial Public Security Department and the Criminal Investigation Corps, people always believed that Mr. Lao not only had the strongest personality, but also had the clearest and most organized thinking.How could it be possible for him to "do not match the preamble. Common-sense logical errors often occur"? However, it seems that the definition of "the clearest and most organized" is indeed in doubt.On the one hand, Mr. Lao said that through the investigation of the past few months, "it has been preliminarily determined that so-and-so has accepted a huge bribe from so-and-so", but then he said that "so-and-so is a good comrade", "so-and-so is in Taurigan has indeed played an integral role in the development of it."What did he want to tell people? What conclusion did he draw? In that CD, if he only saw Mr. Lao having banquets, playing golf, playing mahjong, taking a sauna, and receiving massages from the opposite sex... that would be like him. Like the defense Director Yuan made in front of him, this doesn't explain anything.But the problem is, beyond that.Zhao Wuliu also saw a kind of "thing" that others couldn't see-especially in the last few scenes, he saw a kind of "obsession" and "wandering" from Lao Donglin's eyes.This really made him feel "horrified" and "shuddered". (Zhao Wuliu asked comrades from the Technical Investigation Section to carefully appraise the disc. The conclusion is that it was indeed recorded on the spot and was not forged by computer.) It seems that the several months of experience in Tao Ligen really made Lao Donglin Something changed in my heart.His behavior, habits, temper... all have undergone some changes.All of this has something to do with what happened to him in the end? Zhao Wuliu wanted to understand this point.He wanted to find out what kind of person his old comrade-in-arms was, what happened to him in Taurigan, and what changes happened while solving the case... Therefore, secretly interviewing more than a dozen people listed in the list naturally became the first choice to solve this "urgent task".This matter was handed over to Shao Changshui.Shao Changshui was asked to do this because compared to other comrades in the corps, he didn't have too much "predecessor-oriented" things about Mr. Lao, and he didn't add too many personal subjective wishes in the investigation. Coupled with his calm, honest and quick-witted personality, Zhao Wuliu thought he was the most suitable candidate for this job. I thought it would be an easy task.By visiting the dozen or so people on the list, the situation can be clarified, and then Shao Changshui can be put into the work of solving the "car accident" and "bank safe bombing" cases without delay.But I didn't expect that things were not as simple as expected.First of all, Shao Changshui didn't understand this task very deeply, so he accepted it a little passively.This has not been a major hindrance.After all, Shao Changshui is a comrade with strong organization and discipline. Although there are inconsistencies in his understanding, he still resolutely implements it in action, and he will follow suit.Instead, the problem lies with the dozen or so individuals on the list.These people are not at all able to actively cooperate as Mr. Lao wrote in the "Secret Documents".They admitted that they had known Master Lao for a long time, and that they were close friends of Master Lao.They all admire Lao Lao as a man, and they do not deny that they have received great help and enlightenment from Lao Lao at a certain stage of their lives. They are all shocked and saddened by Lao Lao's death, and their tragic feelings are beyond words.But... as long as Lao Lao's "secret investigation" in Taoligan was mentioned, "the cause of Lao Lao's death" was mentioned, and "the car accident" was mentioned, they were in a daze, flinched, hesitated, or panicked. Either silent, or helpless, or evasive, or Wang Gu left and right to talk about him, or the golden cicada escaped from its shell.Regardless of men and women, at this critical moment, they suddenly become not their original selves, and there will always be a brief awkward atmosphere on the scene; then, without exception, they will say without hesitation: "I don't know. What kind of secret investigation? I don’t know. Mr. Lao has resigned, who is he still investigating? It has nothing to do with Mr. Lao's investigation. Why did Mr. Lao mention them in the list? Why did he plead with the organization to provide special protection for these people in the future? Lao Donglin has really become cynical , Before he died, he made a "last joke" on the organization? Zhao Wuliu didn't believe it.Shao Changshui didn't believe it either.They carefully analyzed the situation in the past ten days.Found a noteworthy breakthrough, that is, these ten people talked about the last.They all pushed the matter to the two people, that is to say, they all "persuaded" Shao Changshui to find these two people by coincidence.One of them was Chi Depei, the parish priest who lived at the west intersection of the consulate.The other is Shou Taiqiu, whom Shao Changshui was looking for today. Ever since he accidentally found Cao Nan in the courtyard at the west entrance of the Consulate Road that day, Shao Changshui determined intuitively.This priest must have occupied a very special position in this case and played a very special role = this role, no matter whether it is positive or negative, he is a "guy" that cannot be ignored.But Shao Changshui decided to put him at the end to contact: one of the reasons is that this priest also involved another person: Cao Nan: and this Cao Nan involved another person: Li Minfen.He needs to get more information before attacking these "points"... As for the "Shou Taiqiu", it was not on the list provided by Mr. Lao.Shao Changshui had never heard of this person.so.Before leaving, he also made a special request to Commander Zhao. This Shou Taiqiu can be regarded as now.He is a member of the "Lijiabao people", but he is not a "stall" on the street. He is an important member of the "Taurigan Group" that has been widely discussed in recent years. The so-called "Taurigan Group" , refers to an extremely eye-catching political phenomenon that has occurred in this high-latitude province in the past ten years: a considerable number of young cadres who were born and raised in Taurrigan rose rapidly and entered the leading groups at all levels in this province, becoming quite Dazzling "new political stars". Or call it a "nebula". Their representative is naturally Gu Liyuan, the acting governor. Another person who attracts attention is the deputy mayor of the provincial capital city who has been sentenced to death. Long Zhu Lei. They are all from Taurigan, they all started from Taurigan, and they are all related to the rapid rise of the city of Taurigan. After Gu and Zhu were successively transferred to work in the province and the provincial capital, they worked together in Taurigan Those comrades who worked together in the city were also transferred to the provincial capital, or the cities and counties around the provincial capital, and assumed leadership responsibilities of varying sizes in different positions. Someone calculated that in just a few years, there were Nearly 20 or 30 Taoligen cadres were sent to various parts of the province to take on "leadership responsibilities of varying sizes", and there is such an interesting phenomenon: which department Gu Liyuan is in charge of, these Taoligen cadres will Where should they be relatively concentrated. For example, he once managed the labor department in the province, and these Taurigan cadres were assigned to work in the labor department in a relatively concentrated manner at that time; There will be a relatively concentrated group of Taurigan cadres at the foreign trade and finance port. A very obvious "Taurigan phenomenon" has formed in the political arena of this province. "Taurigan cadres are called the "Taurigan Group". Of course, it must be stated again and again that the so-called "Taurigan Group" is completely an oral work of the people, and has never been officially approved or adopted by any theoretical circle.Not only has it not been approved and adopted by them, but the relevant departments of the provincial party committee have also specifically requested all media in the province not to use this statement publicly in a publicity briefing.Because "this statement is organizationally inaccurate, theoretically absurd, and politically very harmful."In addition, to be fair, following "wandering" is by no means the same as "eating spicy food and drinking delicious food" everywhere, being a "sitting tiger" and "peach picking pie".Let’s talk about Shou Taiqiu. Two years ago, Gu Liyuan went to the province to take charge of labor and transportation. He was transferred from the director of the Taurigan City Economic and Trade Committee to a large bureau-level factory in Lijiabao as the factory director and secretary of the party committee. In other words, he was suddenly promoted from the director level to the main hall level, and the party and the government took the lead. He was only 32 years old at the time, which seemed to be very "cheap" for him and made him popular.But I want to make a special point here. At that time, this large factory with 20,000 people had outdated equipment, unsalable products, and heavy debts. The workers couldn’t even get their wages for more than a year. Don't dare to take on this mess.It was under such circumstances that the black gauze hat of "official hall level" fell on Comrade Shou Taiqiu's head.It is said that when the main leaders of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Industry, Transportation and Work Committee came to talk to him, he was also unwilling to take up the burden, and was not moved by this "department-level" black hat.Later, Yi Liyuan, who was then a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, went to Taoligen to talk to him all night before inspiring his courage.Don't mention it, this young man really has a lot of skills. He reduced his losses by 70 million in the first year after he took office, and in the second year.That is, last year, the book basically realized a turnaround.When the news spread to Beijing, the National Development and Reform Commission invited two old leaders from the former State Economic and Trade Commission to conduct research in his factory = these two old leaders did not believe what they said, such a big state-owned factory.There were so many problems left over, and it turned into a profit in just two years = is it possible? But this is a "fact" after all.Since last year, the economic situation in the factory has fundamentally improved.He recruited 5,000 of the 12,000 laid-off workers in the factory over the years, and completed the "retirement procedures" for more than 3,000 laid-off workers over the age of 45, providing enough basic living guarantee; and found a way out for nearly 2,000 laid-off workers who failed to meet the conditions for return and were under the age of 45. (Such as granting small loans to them, letting them set up stalls to start small businesses, etc.) There are hundreds of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who do not have to arrange employment for the time being, and hundreds of others have already found their own way out, or have gone without saying goodbye without being traced; The remaining six or seven hundred people were naturally absorbed by society.In this way, his factory has become one of the benchmark units in the province to solve the problem of laid-off workers.Recently, he is busy working with many colleagues in the surrounding provinces to build the largest bearing production group in the country, and is ready to challenge the international counterparts.Such a young cadre who has such a close relationship with Acting Governor Gu, has such outstanding personal achievements, and has such a promising future.What kind of "secret investigation" can Mr. Lao use to carry out his "secret investigation"? He will know Lao Donglin very well? Shao Changshui didn't rush to find him at first: Shou Taiqiu lives in the factory most of the time = sometimes he may not be able to go home once or twice a month.There is a small guest house in the old factory area, which used to receive dealers who came to the factory to negotiate business.This small guest house was built more than ten years ago, and the facilities are naturally very old. The whole decoration is still at the level of the floor leather, printed wallpaper and plywood veneer furniture.The greasy wallpaper in the restaurant must have been stained with a lot of fly and cockroach droppings, and it must not be used to receive the "God" of all parties.these years.The tastes of these "gods" have "raised all boats".Live well, eat well, play well. "By the way", if you don't bring back some local products and "little things", they will not sign the purchase and sale contract with you.Shou Taiqiu made up his mind to buy a piece of land outside the factory area, and built a new "hotel-style" reception.The original small guest house was converted into a "training center" for internal staff.He himself usually lives on the third floor of this training center.He said he couldn't spare time during the day, so he made an appointment with Shao Changshui to meet at eight o'clock in the evening.Why eight o'clock? Because before seven thirty, he wants to watch the "News Network" program of CCTV.This can also be said to be "unshakeable".Then he would have to spend about half an hour to deal with some of the backlog of chores that day.Regardless of his young age, he is already very experienced in administrative affairs.He knows that some routine chores don't seem to be too important, but once they accumulate too much, they will become very passive and hinder everywhere.Therefore, he must arrange half an hour every day to deal with this aspect. At 7:55, Shao Changshui brought a female compatriot from his three-person team to the downstairs of the training center a little earlier.Shou Tae-gu's secretary was already waiting in the hall.Someone once specially introduced Shou Taiqiu's secretary to Shao Changshui, and there was even such an exaggerated statement: this secretary is Shou Taiqiu's "treasure of the factory".You don't need to ask about anything else, just look at the six or seven mobile phones he has on his body, and you should know how busy he is and how important his position beside Shou Taiqiu is.So there is also this saying: This guy is called "Secretary", but he is actually Su Taiqiu's "Chief Dispatcher", "Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff" or "White House Chief".This person's surname is Gu, and his single name is "Joe".Someone asked him, your "Joe" should be "Bridge", right? He said yes.Others asked again, why did you leave the word "木" next to it? He smiled and said, a few years ago, someone looked at the horoscope of my birthday for me and said that I was destined for Duomu.There are many trees, there are many obstacles, and there are many stumbling blocks.Advise me to remove a little "wood".I wondered, I couldn't throw away all the wooden furniture at home.I am willing, but my wife is still unwilling, so I can only start with the name, and the "bridge" becomes this "Joe".Everyone laughed and said, you are so capable, and you are so trusted by the leaders, do you still believe in fate? He laughed and said, just play, play.Believe it or not in this day and age? Shao Changshui always thought that the director of Shou was only in his thirties, and that the "Secretary Gu" should not be more than twenty-seven or eight years old.But after shaking hands, looking up, and asking, I realized that Secretary Gu was over forty.His less graying hair and rougher, more pigmented skin, coupled with his overly mature and sophisticated expression, make him look about ten years older than his actual age. It is not fair to say that he is in his fifties. Too much. "Please sit down for a while?" Secretary Gu smiled modestly.While whispering softly, he arranged for Shao Changshui and the female compatriot to sit down in the VIP room on the side of the hall.While turning his back again, he took out a high-end handheld computer-type mobile phone from his belt.Report to Shoutai: "They are here." The moment he lifted his skirt.Shao Changshui saw that the kid had quite a few cell phones hanging around his waist.There are no seven or eight.There are also five or six of them, like grenades, full around the waist = besides, he is still holding one in his hand = Then he continued to maintain that very humble expression, leading Shao Changshui to wait for him up to the third floor.The entire first floor of the third floor is used for living and office of Shouzong.With the stairs as the boundary, to the left is his office area, to the right.Naturally, it is the living area.The whole small trick has been renovated later, and the third floor is of course no exception.Although the corridor is narrow and the light is not very bright, the wall panels on the two walls are shining with the precious luster inherent in high-grade dark wood (walnut?): this is a uniform, reserved, long-distance and deep luster.Mr. Shou's office is about 100 square meters.Roughly centered around two desks, it can be divided into two distinct work areas.On the side near the window, centered on a "boss table", it is the place where Mr. Shou handles incoming calls and reviewing materials; on the inside, centered on an oval conference table, it is where he calls small meetings.A place where skilled people come to make suggestions.Next to this large office, there are two rooms with a size of 20 square meters each.One of them is the office of Secretary Gu.The other is a "chess room".The young Mr. Shou has no other hobbies in his life. When he is free, or when he is too tired, he will know how to be a friend, order a few snacks, open a case of cold beer, and move cars here.Row it up for two or three hours.In the chess room, it was also secretly "sandwiched" into an inner room.Apart from Secretary Gu and Mr. Shou himself, there is probably no third person who knows about this matter.When the renovation project was on the third floor, Secretary Gu called the owner of the decoration company to a nearby tea room.He took out a plan carefully designed by himself from the black leather handbag.Ask the boss to "secretly" pretend a fully functional cabin in the "chess room". "This... this is a huge commotion. The decoration contract signed at the beginning did not have this item. It is technically okay to pretend to be an extra cabin, but...but. Secretary Gu. You ...You can't make me lose money and make money..." The boss said in embarrassment. "Okay. Tell me more." Secretary Gu immediately interrupted the boss.Said. "What...what's the number?" The boss didn't wake up for a while. "What do you mean?" Secretary Gu asked calmly.Only then did the boss understand that Secretary Gu was asking how much the decoration cost would be increased for such a change.The boss immediately counted with his fingers.Said the number.The Secretary Gu agreed without even blinking an eyelid, but only made a request. When the work was halfway through, it was strictly forbidden for any non-engineering personnel to enter and leave the site.Secretary Gu kept this matter a secret from Mr. Shou until the renovation was completed, the training center was officially opened, and Mr. Shou officially moved to work upstairs. Hand over the key to Shou Taiqiu. "What key? Didn't I tell you that I don't take the key. When I come in the morning, you have to open the door for me. At night, if I don't leave, you don't want to go home early. The last one who locks the door has to It's you." Shou Taiqiu rebuked a little unhappy.Secretary Gu responded calmly: "I've made a hut for you here... If one day you need a very quiet and safe place to spend two hours alone with someone..." "Go, go, this A floor is used by myself, it’s not quiet enough and safe enough? Don’t play with me!” Shou Taiqiu didn’t seem to understand his secretary’s intentions, and he pushed away the door holding the key. hand, turned and left.In fact, he was "playing stupid".How could he not understand the "good and hard" intentions of Secretary Gu? But Shou Taiqiu was sober.Although young, but also old.He felt that his entire career was still in its infancy.Regardless of whether it is political struggle or economic competition, the most taboo thing is to "give people the handle", which eventually leads to "being controlled by others".Many people with good qualities and promising prospects ended up "accidentally" falling on this point, and regretted it too late.Although Lao Gu is reliable and stable, he is his secretary after all.If even such a private personal life is arranged and controlled by a secretary, accidents will easily happen in the future, and it can even be said that accidents will definitely happen.Even if there is no accident, if such a handle is grasped by others, I will definitely not live a stable life in this life.When Lao Gu did this, he definitely didn't intend to set up any traps to harm himself, but it's just like playing chess. Although a master can see the changes after three moves, five moves, and even ten moves and eight moves, who would have expected it?十五步二十步后的变化呢?马克思没料到社会主义首先会在经济落后的沙俄获胜。列宁也没料到社会主义首先又会在好胜的苏联消失。因此，干什么都要留有余地，一定要守住一个底线。这个底线就是，一旦在十五步二十步以后出现了那种自己完全料想不到的变化时，自己要仍然能立于不败之地。这才是真正的高手。前瞻后顾，畏首畏尾．固然不可取，忘乎所以，为所欲为，必败无疑。 第二天，寿泰求来上班时．发现那把钥匙又在自己的“老板桌”上明晃晃地躺着了。他本想把老谷叫来狠狠数落一通的；转念一想，又何必那么小家子气呢?不理他就是了，便随意找个钉子来．把这把钥匙钉在了新装修完毕的墙壁上。老谷回头来一看，好端端的新墙上戳那么个铁橛子，心疼万分，赶紧取走钥匙，亲自去艺术品商场选了个装饰物把那个钉子眼儿给遮上了，从此以后再也不跟寿总提那“小屋”的事了。 那天晚上，邵长水带着工作组的那位女同胞一走进寿泰求办公室，自然是被它的气派所吸引．但接着就发现，室内的气氛有点不大对头。寿泰求正襟危坐地端坐在老板桌后头，那边椭圆形会议桌跟前则安排了两个速记员似的年轻人，面前摊着纸笔，好像是要把整个这次晤谈经过进行现场笔录似的。笔录不是不可以，但安排了那么些外人在场．许多话就不便说了。不能把话说透了，这样的晤谈还有啥意思? “寿总，您看．我们能不能单独谈一谈?”简单的寒暄和介绍过后，邵长水直截了当地向寿泰求提出，希望撤走那些与此次谈话无关的人。 “今天晚上的谈话，我不仅要记录，还要录音。”寿泰求说道，并向邵长水面前的玻璃茶几上指了指。邵长水这才发现，他面前这个造形乖张的玻璃玩意儿上还真搁置了一个微形的高灵敏度的录音话筒：“搞什么录音嘛!有这必要吗?”．邵长水笑道。他脸上虽然笑着(也不能不笑啊)，但心里却预感今天的谈话，即便不泡汤，也不会有什么实质性的收获了：寿泰求这么做，明摆着是有“抵触”情绪，是不想好好跟你谈。转了这一大圈下来，各种各样不合作的模式都遇到过，倒还没见到一上来就摆开架势，又搞录音又搞笔录的，真跟审犯人似的。他这是想干吗呢?“你们找我想了解啥情况?”寿泰求回避了邵长水提出的问题，看样子想尽快结束这场谈话。“寿总，我们还是希望能单独跟您谈。”跟邵长水同来的那位女同志再一次郑重其事地提议。 “就这样谈吧。你们找我，到底想了解啥情况?”寿泰求丝毫不肯让步。果不其然，谈话进行了不到二十分钟，就结束了。基本上没谈出任何“干货”。邵长水不无懊恼。但等到他们的车开出后不到十分钟，手机却响了起来。打电话的是那位谷秘书，他说他要“单独”跟邵长水见一面。 “你?干啥?”邵长水有点不高兴地问道。他心想，你那位寿总都什么也没跟我们说，你这位秘书来掺和个啥? “跟您说个事儿。行不?”谷秘书谦和地答道。 “到底是你想跟我说事儿，还是你们寿总想跟我说事儿?”邵长水一边减油门，打开转向灯，慢慢地把车往路边并了过去，一边问道。 “您怎么想都行。”谷秘书滑头地答道。 “什么时间、在什么地点见?”邵长水迟疑了一下，又问道。 “时间，您定。地点，我定。”姓谷的那家伙毫不迟疑地这么回答，显然是有所准备的。 “我考虑一下。一会儿给你答复。”邵长水需要一点时间向赵总队报告一下这个新情况。 几分钟后，他给谷乔打回电话去，告诉他：“明天晚上，还是八点。”谷乔当即回答道：“好，明晚八点，在长安俱乐部棠棣馆。不见不散。”
